TORONTO: A Canadian man who was denied part of a C$27 million jackpot because he missed the deadline to buy the ticket by seven seconds has lost his appeal to get the money.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruling on Thursday ended a seven-year legal battle by Joel Ifergan, an accountant, to claim his share of the prize.
Ifergan went to a local convenience store just before 9 pm on May 23, 2008, to purchase tickets for that night’s “Lotto Super 7” drawing. The store clerk told him to hurry before the 9pm deadline, according to a court summary.
